    摘要: There is described a method of determining an initial transmission phase offset in an NFC device configured to operate in NFC card mode only, wherein the NFC device comprises an NFC chip and a matching circuit. The method comprises: determining an initial RF matching resonance frequency of the NFC device utilizing an internal oscillator of the NFC chip; reading correction data from a non-volatile memory of the NFC chip, the correction data being indicative of a frequency offset of the internal oscillator relative to a nominal oscillator frequency; determining a corrected RF matching resonance frequency of the NFC device based on the initial RF matching resonance frequency and the correction data; and determining the initial transmission phase offset based on the corrected RF matching resonance frequency. Furthermore, a device and a method of manufacturing an NFC device are described.

    摘要: Interference management in calibration of a pre-distorter for a power amplifier of a user device. The method includes measuring strength of signals received via beams of one or more antenna arrays of a user equipment; ordering the beams on the basis of the measurement strengths; selecting from the ordered beams at least one beam for calibration of a pre-distorter for a power amplifier of the user equipment; obtaining information of available measurement resources for the calibration; transmitting a calibration signal using the selected beam at the time of the available measurement resources; receiving the calibration signal by another radio frequency chain of the antenna array which is not used in the transmission of the calibration signal; obtaining calibration information on the basis of the transmitted calibration signal and the received calibration signal; and calibrating the pre-distorter based on the calibration information.

    摘要: An approach is described to for new radio (NR) antenna test function (ATF) measurements by a user equipment (UE). The approach includes measuring a first average phase of receive signals on resource elements that carry secondary synchronization signals (SS) received by a reference individual receiver branch. The approach also includes measuring a second average phase of the receive signals on the resource elements that carry secondary synchronization signals received by one other individual receiver branch different from the reference individual receiver branch. The approach further includes determining a difference between the first average phase and the second average phase. An indication of the difference is reported to test equipment.

    摘要: An antenna test system for testing an antenna with a plurality of antenna elements is disclosed. The antenna test system includes an antenna element connector for every antenna element of the antenna, wherein the antenna element connectors are wiredly couplable to the respective antenna elements, a channel emulator comprising an antenna port for every antenna element connector and a number of test signal ports, and a signal evaluation device for every one of the test signal ports that is coupled to the respective test signal port and that in each case is configured to receive a downstream test signal from the channel emulator and to evaluate the received downstream test signal and/or to provide an upstream test signal to the channel emulator via the test signal port, wherein the channel emulator is configured to receive downstream signals emitted by the antenna elements at the antenna ports and to perform a channel emulation on the received downstream signals and to output on each test signal port a single respective downstream test signal, and/or wherein the channel emulator is configured to receive upstream test signals from the respective signal evaluation devices via the test signal ports and to perform a channel emulation on the received upstream test signals and to output on each antenna port a respective upstream signal.

    摘要: It is provided a method for adjusting alignment for microwave transmissions from a microwave transmitter to a microwave receiver based on a reinforcement learning, RL, model. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining state space comprising external state space and internal state space, the external state space comprising at least one value of a parameter related to environmental conditions, and the internal state space relates to alignment of the microwave transmitter; determining an action in an action space, the action space comprising actions to adjust alignment of the microwave transmitter; obtaining a measurement of path loss for a transmission from the microwave transmitter to the microwave receiver; determining a reward value based on the path loss, wherein an increase in path loss results in a reduced reward value; and adjusting the RL model based on the obtained state space, the determined action and the determined reward value.
